How to cook Rice in a Rice cooker - Sona Masuri most commonly used rice in INDIA

Rice is the staple food of India, especially south India. It is rich is carbohydrates. This is the food of rich and poor. Rice are available in different colours (brown, white etc.,) and different dimensions. There are over thousand varieties of rice. Being a biotechnologist, I made a research on paddy my masters thesis is on rice plants, production of rice is not so easy job, there is lots of effort kept by farmers from the field plantation to marketing. so, friends never waste rice / any food. if you see the real efforts of farmers you don't even wish to waste a single grain of it.

Thousands of cultivars of rice are available, among them SONA MASOORI ( MASURI) rice are preferred by lot of Indians because of its taste and beautiful texture after cooking. They will not become mushy after cooking if you have cooked with right quantity of  water.
NOTE:
The quantity of water for cooking rice may vary from variety to variety and also depend on the age of the grain.
OLD GRAINS- require double the quantity of water ( for example, for 1cup rice you will need 2cups of water).
NEW GRAINS- require equal proportion or slightly more water( For example, for 1 cup of rice you will need 1 or 11/4 of water.
FACT: older rice will become the double of the quantity, and new rice will be the same. i.e If you cook 1 cup of old rice for which you need 2 cups of water it will yield 2cups of cooked rice and If you cook 1 cup of new rice for which you need 1cup of water it will yield 1cup of cooked rice only.
